This is because under the hood, OS X switches fonts for you when it needs to
display a Unicode character that doesn't exist in the current font. So you
just use Unicode everywhere and let the OS worry about it for you :-)
What would happen however if you had multiple fonts that supplied Greek
Small Letter Kappas (or whatever)? Which font would the OS choose?
Cheers,
